The histogram shows the sizes (in acres) of 169 farms in Ontario.In addition to describing the distribution,approximate the percentage of farms that are under 100 acres.

A) The distribution of the size of farms in Ontario is skewed to the right.Most of the farms are smaller than 150 acres,with some larger ones,from 150 to 300 acres.Five farms were larger than the rest,over 400 acres.The mode of the distribution is between 0 and 50 acres.It appears that 118 of 169 farms are under 100 acres,approximately 70%.
B) The distribution of the size of farms in Ontario is symmetric,with farm sizes ranging from 0 to 450 acres.The mode of the distribution is between 0 and 50 acres.It appears that 118 of 169 farms are under 100 acres,approximately 70%.
C) The distribution of the size of farms in Ontario is symmetric,with farm sizes ranging from 0 to 450 acres.The mode of the distribution is between 100 and 150 acres.It appears that 118 of 169 farms are under 100 acres,approximately 70%.
D) The distribution of the size of farms in Ontario is skewed to the right.Most of the farms are smaller than 50 acres,with some larger ones,from 150 to 300 acres.Five farms were larger than the rest,over 400 acres.The mode of the distribution is between 0 and 50 acres.It appears that 118 of 169 farms are under 100 acres,approximately 70%.
E) The distribution of the size of farms in Ontario is skewed to the right.Most of the farms are smaller than 150 acres,with some larger ones,from 150 to 300 acres.Five farms were larger than the rest,over 400 acres.The mode of the distribution is between 0 and 50 acres.It appears that 62 of 169 farms are under 100 acres,approximately 37%.

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The description provided in option A matches up with the shape of the histogram and provides an approximate percentage of farms under 100 acres which is around 70%. Option B states that the distribution is symmetric, which is not consistent with the histogram, and option C states that the mode is between 100 and 150 acres, which is also not consistent with the histogram. Option D has an incorrect statement about most of the farms being smaller than 50 acres, and option E provides an underestimate of the percentage of farms under 100 acres.
